AN INTRODUCTION
(To O Yoshi San, with a copy of "Alice through the Looking-Glass.")
Blue-eyed Alice! once more pass
Lightly through your looking-glass,
Where, in wonder-world of dream,
Nothing is, but all things seem.
Pass! and tell O Yoshi San
All the mad wild fun you can,
Till her dear eyes, dark as night,
Gleam like yours with gay delight.
English Alice! if you please,
Be to-day quite Japanese!
*******
Alice! here's O Yoshi San!
(Sweetest maid in all Japan)
